Jean de Villiers retires

[Dan54]

Sad way to end the career of a very very good player, and by all accounts a top bloke. Broken jaw against Samoa has forced him to announce his retirement, I personally like to see these really good players (or all)go out on their own terms

That is very sad news. Great player and even better bloke. All the best Jean.

 

[Baldric]

Great player who unfortunately had an ability to get injured at RWC tournaments. Will miss him in the Bok team.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

He seemed to be a Gentleman and a good leader.

He will be missed by Team Saffer.

 

[Viking]

A legend of game but....

Now we can see de Allende and Kriel carve up the midfield!!!

Saffas can count themselves lucky.
